I’m new here, just had to chime in. Hilarious to read through all the naysayer comments on the 2021 iMac.
Please, if you will, humor us all and put together a package for $1,200 that meets or beats this unit’s 8 core CPU / GPU Passmark scores, SSD read/write speeds, 4.5k 100% P3 color space monitor at 218 ppi and 500 nits, WiFi speed of 760 MBit/s, two (2) Thunderbolt 3’s at 40Gbps, two (2) USB 3.1 Gen 2’s at 10Gbps, a 1080P webcam and microphones of this quality, and a six (6) speaker sound system that is equally as superb.
Also, don’t forget the cost of a keyboard with fingerprint login and a mouse capable of multi touch input.
We will all be waiting for the cost of the i7 system or better it will take to beat this iMac at $1,200. You can try, but if you can’t put the system together right here right now, well, then you simply live in a world where measurable objective criteria are meaningless.
Waiting endlessly for a link to something even marginally better in all of these metrics at $1,200 or less.
Oh, and don’t worry, there will be no requirement that it be less than 10lbs or 1/2 inch thick like the iMac.
Good luck!
